Dear colleagues,

After a meeting with director LEN, Mr. Birri and prior that with Chairman TWPC Mr. Lonzi, i would like to pass you few instructions, concerning LEN competitions.

1. DRESS CODE

All referees appointed on LEN competitions must wear jacket (WWR jacket or similar) shirt and tie for technical meeting and Champion league or Cup game. Uniformity is important for our image and to show respect to the clubs. Our behaviour should be maximum professional and neutral. Technical meeting is the place, where we can answer on coaches questions about rules, so please take care of knowledge of the rules, respect behaviour and dress code.

2. GAME

Game should be whistled in WHITE TYR shirt and NOT arena shirt, if you haven’t recieved the TYR material use the old arena material and cover the logo, or use a white shirt. Shoes are white! Referees should be in the swimming pool one hour prior the game respecting dress code.

3. INVITATION FOR FRIENDLY TOURNAMENTS

We are LEN referees. For our protection and respecting LEN regulations, referee must inform LEN and get their approval before accepting invitation. If we receive invitation, we must advise organiser to contact LEN office. As we, in WWR and LEN, are working many years to improve our referee's standard (per diem, single room, quality of hotel), respect also yourselves and explain organisers of friendly events what are minimum standards for referees.

4. LEN EVENTS

All referees appointed on LEN events, should be members of WWR, so they can receive this kind of information's and education system which we are preparing together with LEN. So please, encourage your colleague, if he (she) is not WWR member yet, to join us. Also forward him (her) this letter.
